Getting to know these freshmen has been such a joy! We have about 10 faithful girls who have been committed to attending Bible study, Thursday Social events, and hanging out with us. We have had the opportunity to share the Gospel to a point of decision with most of them and THIS WEEK ONE GIRL RECEIVED CHRIST!!! We are so excited to have a new sister in Christ, celebrate the new life she will begin, and help build her up in her faith.

Right now Sewanee is in a "bubble" so they are unable to leave campus and we cannot go see them. While it is so sad that we cannot go visit our students and encourage them in person, we continue to meet weekly on Zoom with our student leaders for training and discipleship.  Our women's student leaders who lead Bible studies and weekly meetings on campus are Brooke, Lexi, Paisley, and Clare. Sewanee is a very isolating, spiritually dark place and this can become heavy on the students' hearts. Please pray for encouragement and wisdom from the Holy Spirit to navigate this semester while walking in the Light of God.
